Bedford Autodrome

 You and I are not the same.

I went on a track day with my boss. It's a long, hot and tiring day and by the end of it we were both tired and sweaty and our hair was moulded to our crash helmets. He magically produced a clean freshly ironed shirt. I did not. He untousled his hair. I did not. He put on good quality sunglasses to keep the sun out of his eyes. I put on a frayed and faded baseball cap to keep the sun out of my eyes.Ninety minutes later we arrived at our motel and sadly there was a mirror in reception. During the drive he had seemingly been further restored while I had continued to wilt.

When we checked in he looked like a stylish and successful gent. I looked like an elderly and frail vagrant who would need to be disinfected and washed before he was allowed into the restaurant.
